• SCENARIO
• By STOP
• STOP
• 2001-07-07 Somewhere in the world, at this
  moment, a man is paying a pimp to have sex with a
  child.
• Maya, barely 10 years of age, is a child who has
  been sold into sexual slavery. She is beaten,
  burned, tortured and deprived of food, light and
  movement. Suddenly, she is highly vulnerable to
  kidney infections,cervical cancer, repeated
  pregnancies, and sexually transmitted diseases.
• Maya will most likely become a statistic 60 -
  70 of the one million children forced into the
  sex trade each year become infected with
  HIV/AIDS.
• Imagining Mayas plight is what inspired us to
  take action by creating Free A Child, a
  non-profit organization dedicated to the
  eradication of the commercial sexual exploitation
  of children.

CONTENT Research Output on Current
Situation Women and Children in the Sex Trade,
Exploitation!!! Note This documentation is
created to awareness raising among the public and
the policy makers to give emphasis to reduce
trafficking on women and children
issue. Historical Background Trafficking for
sexual exploitation is a big problem in Asia for
a long. Day by day 'sex trade' is increasing it
is internationalized globally than
regionally. This is the remain cause that women
and children are targeted for recruitment into
the sex trade because they are poor, they lack
alternatives and they are powerless. in Asia
mainly poverty is a factor in the proliferation
of the sex trade for several reasons. The girl of
the poor family are often sold by their parents,
relatives, neighbors, lovers and husbands for
much needed cash. Alternatively, parents may be
unable to afford to feed the girl and/or would be
unable to afford a dowry should she remain with
them and seek marriage. Similarly, women and
girls often participate in the sex industry as a
means of financially supporting their families
because other forms of employment are either
unavailable or do not pay enough to send any
money home. This lack of other employment options
is indicative of the lack of both real and
perceived alternatives faced by women and
children of the sex trade. Sometimes the quest
for alternatives to poverty leads women and
children directly into the sex industry, in so
far as they are kidnapped, tricked or manipulated
by pimps and procurers as soon as they take steps
to change their lives. Some women, for example,
believe they have been hired as waitresses or
entertainers in another country but upon arrival
are either sold into prostitution or put to work
in brothel.
